A player on the USC basketball team said this regarding Nikola Jovanovic’s decision to turn pro: “Don’t you think (the coaches) expected it?”
Yes. But then they probably also expected Julian Jacobs and some of the players who transferred to leave too. But what is surprising is there has not been much chatter about players who graduated from schools and have a year left of eligibility thinking about transferring to USC.
Is the current roster good enough that no help is required. The frontcourt is definitely thinner now. But I’m more surprised USC has not pursued a point guard stronger. Jordan McLaughlin is more of a scoring point guard and truthfully, plays better as a shooting guard. But so far there hasn’t been much about recruiting any point guards who could play next season. Cal got a commitment from a top 100 player last week (Charlie Moore) who is a point guard. So don’t say there wasn’t anyone available.
Just ask Andy Enfield about plan B. I’m sure he’d be glad to spill it all out for SW. All you need to do is ask, Scott. We’re waiting.
Andyain’twinning’s plan b > three and out.
Coach Enfield won’t give the Blogger the time of day. When was the last time you saw SW actually interview someone? All he gets is the occasional abbreviated video clip of a player/coach being interviewed by a group of reporters. His written stories are comprised of Internet innuendos and manufactured gossip. And then there’s the troll groupies…
How do you know this Helen? Are you stalking SW between facial waxings?; Helen, Private D8ck.
You lonely, Bro?
I don’t think so Helen, but if I am, I’m not partial to hirsute stalker females labeled Helen.

I guess Enfield gets no credit for getting two players to the NBA? Being a college BB coach must be like president of the U.S. The president gets no credit for job gains but all the rap for job losses or those who are no longer participating in the job market. Same with a college BB coach who apparently gets no credit for producing two players for the NBA draft in just 2 years but gets the rap for them not wanting to continue to play college ball. As for the comparison with Oregon, maybe USC wants their players to go into the NBA and Oregon wants to hold them back. Look, Sua Cravens wanted to stay at USC next year and play football but Clay Helton nudged him into the NFL draft because he is just too talented and smart of a player who would lose too much money. USC wants what is best for each individual student athlete not just for the athletic program.
Wayne – there’s a big difference between declaring for the draft and getting to the NBA.
i think they tripped out leaving at this time
No, because chances are both players you describe won’t be drafted, but may sign free agent contracts w/o Andyain’twinning’s help.
How exactly do you prepare for losing 6 guys early? Should Enfield have signed a 10-man recruiting class just in case? Say what you will about Wolf but he has spectacular hindsight.
Andyain’twinning=joka, joka, joka.
#ALLT#RD = lipstick on a pig!!!
Six bozo u players desert Andya’intwinning’s ONE and DONE shipwreck basketball program. LOL. Not one kind word for Coach “Andyain’twinning” Queeg from the players leaving.
Wooden won the 7 straight NCAA BB NC’s.
I doubt Andyain’twinning can go 9-9 in the Pac-12 conf., 7 straight times.
I see you ran out of zingers and have to talk about baby blue ancient history! AGAIN!!! You aren’t even competitive!
Come back to reality! USC is bringing TALENT for 2016!!!Recruiting TALENT for 2017!!! Trust & Believe!
#ANDYISWINNING!!!!
What is Andyain’twinning career W-L record vs UCLA? Nothing like contemporary history.
And if you’re not doing much, remind the bloggers of Andyain’twinning’s career Pac-12 W-L record. HoF Stats!!!!!!!
Does Andyain’twinning have a bozo u team?
Here we go again! Same blurbs over and over! YOU already know this…..Andy has brought TALENT for 2016 and is recruiting 4/5 star TALENT for 2017!!! Getting MILLION$!!!
It’s ALL ABOUT the HERE & NOW!!!!!
#ANDYISWINNING!!!!
Look for the billboards!!!
Still waiting for the up to date(i.e. “It’s all about the here and now.”) Andyain’twinning’s bozo u W-L stats.
Last time bozo u FB put up loudmouth billboards was 2012, remember Bunky, those billboards heavily advertised the “Unfinished Bidness” season.
The here and now result: bozo u goes from the #1 preseason CFB team to the 7-6 cellar – an NCAA record for futility.
#alabama41-bozoumaybe3
Look up HERE & NOW!! It’s present tense!!! Meaning LIVE! REAL TIME!! Not listing historical W-L!! Rather what’s happening NOW!!!!
As for Bama…well it could be a loss….not unusual….someone has to lose! Why not Bama take the loss!
#ANDYISWINNING!!!!!
Trust & Believe!!!!
I can think of 3 games Andy won
True, but so what, how did the bozo u do in the meaningful games like the Pac-12 Championship, and, wait for it, the NCAA tournament. Sound like just ONE bean to me JG.
bozo u’s hole BB season SUCCess is based on defeating UCLA three straight times. BFD
bozo u could have won the NCAA NC even if they lost 3 straight to the Bruins. But bozo u’s BB program is satisfied if they defeat the Bruins.
I ask you JG, how many Pro’s come to LA to work out at Galen Barn?
yes wolfman, B as in BASEMENT!!! the PAC-12 basement!!!!
HAWR-HAWR!!!
#Puttin’InDaWork
#ALLT#RD!!!
Watch Andy Nobody circle the drain.
Andy has a plan…more like Plan 9 From Outer Space…
Let’s all watch baby blue ALLT#RD at bel air tech TANK AGAIN!!!!!!
#ANDYISWINNING!!!!!
What’s this blog’s plan B…?
Reid Silverman!
#YouGoGirl
Wolf, stop complaining and go and coach the men’s team. Day after day you bicker and complain about USC sports. If it is that bad for you, then quit doing the blog and become a soccer writer. Enough already.
Losing Jacobs could be devastating unless a quality (+ experienced ?) Point Guard is recruited for the 2016-2017 Season.
